As it's like the third time I am coming to Paris, I have already seen all the tourist's sights such as Eiffel Tower, Louvre and Monmartre more than twice. So this time I want to tell you something really special about this city :)
I am Russian (though I live in the UK) and it is especially interesting for me to visit places, which are linked to Russian history and famous Russian people. So let the tour begin :)

The day before the New Year's Eve we went to the Winter Fair on Champs-Elysees. Everything was beautifully decorated and there were lots of people shopping Christmas things, buying sweets and Glühwein(hot spicy wine). The Christmas atmosphere was so amazing and I am saying again and again that I love Paris :)

Well, the flight was ok, bit still rather exhausting. Anyway, now I'm in Paris. Nothing can be better than celebtaring New Year in France! :) Agree?

Here are 10 things I adore about Paris:
1. The Eiffel Tower lighting up like a jewel at night
2. The freshly baked and colourful cupcakes from Cloe's ( 40 rue Jean-Baptiste Pigalle)
3. The panoramic view of Paris from the Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton ( 60 rue de Bassano)
4. The scuptures at Musee d'Orsay, one of the world's most famous museums, which was once a train station
5. Getting lost on the metro, and seeing where you end up :)
6. Watching the sunset from a top Montmartre
7. Roasted chestnuts found on the street corners around the city to keep you warm while you shop
8. Feel like royalty and indulge in a tea time treat at George V with sandwiches and buttery cakes
9. De Vinis Illustribus's collection of great wines and vintages
10. Feeling Paris atmosphere, which makes you smile every second :)

While I was in Russia, me and my friends went to the famous Seafood restaurant, which is called "More Yachts & Seafood". It is known for the traditional French cuisine and fresh seafood. Also, the restaurant has an amazing view to the Neva river and beautiful white yachts.
Here are some photos for you :)

Yes, for the New Year I am going to Paris :) Tomorrow I will have a flight from St. Petersburg (Russia) to Paris (France)
Even though it's the 3rd time I am going there,I am sooo excited. I promise, I will blog you all the most interesting fashion things in Paris, best shops and boutiques and sights :)

This is an outfit I was wearing to meet up with my friends in St. Petersburg. It is rather casual, but comfortable. The weather was good, so we went for a walk to the embankment, where these photos were made..

KGallery is the art gallery in St. Petersburg, which displays the Fine Arts beginning of 1930 - the end of 1970. Also the gallery is famous for its collection of propaganda porcelain.
This time The Vintage Christmas Fair took place in the KGallery. Such unique items as a vintage blue YSL jacket - the one you could have seen in the "Devil wears Prada" movie, were displayed at the Kgallery event. I was lucky enough to buy vintage Lacroix earings, which I will show and blog you later :)
Have a great Thursday you all! :)

P.S. you can find more information about the gallery itself and its exhibitions on their official web site http://www.kgallery.ru
